Issue - meetings

To receive updates from ward councillors from Wales on the activities supporting Thriving Neighbourhoods across the Borough.

Further to Minute No. 55 of the meeting of the Cabinet held on 19th November 2018, consideration was given to the annual Ward updates for Wales as part of the Thriving Neighbourhood Strategy.

Update reports had been provided as part of the agenda. However, each Ward Member was invited to speak.

Councillors Beck and Havard provided an update on Wales Ward and drew particular attention to:

·       Noting that it had always had a great community that had supported each other from the first and second world wars to the miners’ strike and through to today’s cost of living crisis and rising mental health issues.

·       It was a proud and tight-knit community that looked out for each other.

·       Thanks was offered to the community leaders, amazing teaching staff, staffing the neighbourhood teams.

Resolved: That the report be noted.
